The Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP) works for the growth of open access to knowledge. It pursues this goal through consulting, community-building, research, and direct assistance.
 
Open access makes research easier to find, retrieve, use, and reuse, for professional researchers as well as teachers, students, journalists, non-profits, businesses, policy-makers, and individual curious minds. Open access maximizes the return on the public's enormous investment in research. Above all, open access accelerates the development of all the benefits that depend on research, from new medicines and useful technologies to informed decisions, solved problems, and effective public policies.
 
See the HOAP home page.

1. HOAP fosters OA within Harvard by working closely with the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication.
<br>https://osc.hul.harvard.edu/  
 
2. HOAP fosters OA beyond Harvard by consulting ''pro bono'' with universities, foundations, publishers, scholarly societies, governments, and other organizations considering OA policies. Since 2011, HOAP has consulted on OA policies and practices with three governments, 13 journals or publishers, 18 universities, and 23 other organizations or projects, on four continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America).
 
3. HOAP undertakes research and policy analysis on OA.
 
For example, HOAP maintains a widely-endorsed guide to good practices for university open-access policies...

...and a series of guides to federal legislation supporting or opposing open access to federally-funded research. For example, see the HOAP guides on the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), and Research Works Act (RWA).

4. Finally, HOAP provides OA to timely and accurate information about OA itself. HOAP makes frequent contributions to the Open Access Directory (OAD) and manages the comprehensive, global Open Access Tracking Project (OATP).

To support the OATP, HOAP also manages the development of TagTeam, an open-source social-tagging service optimized for crowd-based research projects.

You can help the cause by making your own work open access. If you're not sure how, see the short HOAP guide on this subject. If it doesn't answer your questions, contact us.

<!-- Special note to Harvard faculty, students, and fellows: If your own research or activism focuses on any topics overlapping with OA itself, we'd be happy to work with you on common interests. -->
 
HOAP is funded by Arcadia and based at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

The HOAP team consists of Robert Darnton, William Fisher, Urs Gasser, Colin Maclay, Phil Malone, John Palfrey, Stuart Shieber, Peter Suber (Director), and Jonathan Zittrain.
